Traffic Law

Definition:

Traffic law deals with the laws and regulations that are enforced to ensure a smooth traffic flow. Under traffic law, traffic tickets are issued as a citation or summons to a person who was involved in a traffic law violation.

Consequences of Traffic Law:

The majority of traffic law violations deal with the issue of traffic tickets for strict-liability offenses. This means that there was no criminal intent. Strict-liability traffic law offenses typically include such offenses as:

Speeding
Failure to use turn signals
Failure to yield
Turning into the wrong lane
Driving a car with burned-out headlights
Parking in a handicap spot without the required sticker
Overdue parking meters

What a Lawyer can do for you:

If you have been cited for a traffic law violation, a traffic lawyer can let you know about your legal options. Convictions for minor traffic offenses such as illegal u-turns can end up having a negative impact on your driving records and sometimes even increase car insurance rates. Mores serious traffic law violations can impact your driving privileges. A traffic lawyer can decide whether or not your traffic violation could be challenged in court, get relevant evidence for your case and help ensure a favorable outcome.
